This was easily one of the best steaks I’ve tried. I’ve had similar preparations in many places, but this one truly stood out. From the moment I walked in, the aroma of smoke and perfectly cooked meat immediately caught my attention and set the tone for the experience. The atmosphere is very pleasant and comfortable, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. I left very satisfied and will definitely be coming back again.🥩❤️

WHAT DO THEY DO TO THIS NACHO CHEESE DIP TO MAKE IT SO PERFECT?! It’s perfect. I’d never order this of my own will but my friend ordered it and what a great decision that was. The cornbread is great. All the meat is great. A 1/2 lb of meat per person is definitely enough, especially if you get 1-2 sides. This isn’t the cheapest spot. 2 sides and 2 1/2 lbs of meat was $75 (fed 2 people and was a lot of food). I LOVE that they have Stiegl! And they have special really great mugs for the radlers. Lots of seating. There was a long line on a Saturday at 7pm and it moved slow.

Absolute hands down best BBQ joint in NY and perhaps best I’ve ever had. All the hype about Hometown is on point. Super casual and super friendly staff. You have the choice of both indoor and outdoor seating. Every item on their menu is to die but the ultimate is the pastrami sandwich. YES you heard me right! This sandwich is even better than Katz’s. More bark, more tender, juicier and let’s not forget the buttered rye bread. Bottom line, there is not a single item on their menu that is not worth devouring.

★★★★★ 5.0 Isolde Edminster-Genet · Feb 2026

10/10 experience. Food, drinks and service, seriously all outstanding. I like the laid-back atmosphere and the fact that they have good quality napkins. Meat was beautifully cooked and so flavorful. The sides? Perfection. As a southwestern girl I could dream of nothing better. And they were playing steely dan 💯

★★★★★ 5.0 Alireza Hashemi · Feb 2026

The brisket and ribs are melt-in-your-mouth and fall-off-the-bone and juicy. Perfect American BBQ. The pastrami bacon is worth it and full of char flavor. We loved the cornbread and the mac and cheese. Atmosphere is very southern. A bit pricey but definitely the best BBQ you can find anywhere in and near the city.
